February 2007 - The project was first revealed in a full-page advertisement in Famitsu, the Japanese gaming magazine. The advert featured some concept sketches as well as recruitment advertising for members of the technical and art departments. A teaser image was also released of a chain leading into a hole.

The Last Guardian's gameplay centres on your control of the unnamed boy, who you must navigate through the ruins with the aid of Trico and overcome various obstacles, including Armored Knights and puzzle-platforming elements similar to those found in Ico and Shadow of the Colossus.
